27 Zion will be (A)redeemed with justice
And her [a]repentant ones with righteousness.
28 But [b]wrongdoers and sinners together will be (B)broken,
And those who abandon the Lord will come to an end.
29 [c]You certainly will be ashamed of the [d](C)oaks which you have desired,
And you will be embarrassed by the (D)gardens which you have chosen.
30 For you will be like an [e]oak whose (E)leaf withers away,
Or like a garden that has no water.
31 The strong man will become like [f]flax fiber,
And his work a spark.
So they shall both (F)burn together
And there will be (G)no one to extinguish them.
